A few weeks ago I was at a professional conference and met a student who was with a mentor. The mentor introduces me to the student- who had to be in her early 20's. She looks at me and says, " My mother has the exact same outfit." The mentor cracked up, laughing. Now the student knows she insulted me but is not sure what she said so she says, "no, really, my mom is very stylish." At this point, I smiled and said, "and what is your name?" And to the mentor, I said, " I'm walking away now, please help her." And when I turned my back and walked away, I cracked up laughing.

OK, this is the PERFECT place to confess what I did to my Mom! This was just a few years ago and we were in one of those earring stores where the clerks follow you around and think you are going to steal their $3 junk. Anyway, after about the 3rd time of offering to "help" I asked her in a loud voice, do you do piercings? Yes, she said, and I pointed at my 65 y.o. Mom and said "Well she wants her nipples pierced!" The teeny bopper went away and Mom and I have laughed about this for years!

that was just the tip of the ice burg.Just wait I can't even begin to remember the loving little thinks the children have said over the years till they grew up to have some tact.Don't think your out of the woods oh no then you get to have the gradkids telling to sweet things lol :-o

Haven't had that happen, though I do have a big butt. I would have crawled under the counter if I were you. Hopefully the other person didn't get too upset. LOL

I do this to my sister when she gets giddy and usually follow it up with - "Come on now, dear, I need to get you back to the home on time." She gets so perplexed with me.

this is cute, kids say what they think which adults keep quite, thanks for sharing this

I have 3 children,, 8,6,5,, and well I am happy to know they are confident and well mannered,, but sometimes I wonder,,,,lol... We were in a store, and this lady walked past us in very short knickers, the ones where the pockets are showing below the cut of them, and a tight hot pink tank top, well my now 8 year old, was 6 at the time,, looked at me and said "Mommy,, did she forget the rest of her pants in the drawer?" and I replied" No Baby, thats how she made them." she looked at me and said "Well then maybe she should have just not worn the knickers at all, I can see EVERYTHING that her mother gave her!". Needless to say,, the woman looked at my daughter with this evil look,, and my daughter simpy said,,, " Just staing the obvious mam'".... I was speechless. And somewhat happy,,, because at her age, she knew not to wear clothes that are THAT revealing! Is this wrong of me? to use this womans taste in clothing as a lesson on what NOT to wear?

I think it is fair, she wore those clothes because she wanted attention, maybe not from a 6 yo, but beggars can't be choosers.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup: Out of the mouths of babes the truth does come.

My four year old is impressed by big things, and has a limited vocabulary of adjectives, so she uses "big" as a compliment a lot...One day I was bending over getting something out of her drawer and she pats me on the rear and says "I like your big bottom, mommy."

After I quit laughing I told her that generally ladies don't like to be told that they have a big bottom.

I have three adult boys now. but I tought them to be honest. so there were times, like when my oldest son was about 4 or 5 years old. we were over at my mother in-laws for dinner. my son is in the kitchen, and when she opens her oven my son promptley tell her that her oven is dirty and mamas oven is never dirty. Just gotta love em. God bless. Penny

Out of the mouths of babes...

lol the things children say

Take heart ladies! According to my teens & tweens grandaughters & their crowd. Big butts are in right now. I learned this after one of them asked me if her butt looked big in her jeans. I tactfully (I thought) said no, not at all. She gave a dramatic moan & went & changed. Her mother enlightened me. Apparently big butts are all the rage.

Guess it depends on who the backside belongs to and what the rest of the body looks like!

These stories are hilarious. Here's mine. My 4 yr old daughter was with me at the track while I was trying to do a little jogging. After I stopped she said , Moma, you run funny. I know I said, God didn't put my knees together quite right so it makes me look funny running but its ok cause I can still do everything I want and it doesn't hurt at all. Oh, she said in her most sympathetic voice. I'm sorry your crippled I thought you just ran funny cause your fat.

You mean, finally I'm in style :lol:

One of my friends told everybody about this little gem from her 3 year old son.

They were in the bathroom at Target. She had him go first and when he was done she made him wait on her in the stall. She said a woman came in and used the stall two down from them. She said the woman had the loudest ... BM she had ever heard. Her son said, as clear and loud as could be "ooo, momma, that's gonna stink." She said she couldn't get her pants up fast enough and she didn't even stop to wash hands!

oh my! what kids will say

I love these stories. Here are mine. My oldest DS was about 4yr when we went to a fancy holiday at my MIL's. She is kind of prissy and had just gotten her hair done. She was asking everyone in the family how we liked it. Well all the adults were trying not to say what we thought and then she asked DS and he blurted out "It awful and you should make them do it again better!" She gritted her teeth and just said nothing. We all agreed later we wanted to say the exact same thing to her.
Same DS at age 6 went with me to Kenny Rogers concert. As we were standing in the lobby stuff like sardines waiting for the doors to open my DS looks up at me and in the loudest voice possible asks me "Does Daddy French Kiss good?" I thought I would die. All the older white haired ladies (I am one now) just laughed and laughed. Sure there are more stories from both boys and DGKs but too busy laughing at all of your stories to think of them at the moment.

A friend of mine had chemically induced dark hair. She'd been super busy and was overdo on coloring by a few weeks. Her husband stood behind her as she was sitting at her desk and kept repeating "skunk,skunk,skunk". You get the picture....

We were in the movie theatre seeing Father of the Bride - my middle daughter was about 5. Remember the scene when the daughter is going out on a date with the husband to be and Steve Martin tells him, "Don't forget to fasten your condom"? Well, my daughter asked LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY "Mom, what's a condom?" A couple of women behind us thought she was funnier than the movie - I told my daughter I'd explain when we got home - she forgot about it by then

:lol: I couldn't help but to laugh. To quote the late Art Linkletter: "Kids say the darnedest things!" But ya gotta laugh...!
